There was a blur of trades in my email all at once it seemed like lol. Xio is doing the smart thing and I'd probably do the same. I'm gonna be pissed if I have another good regular season, playoff loss, and late pick in the draft.

Man, Irish — you're putting a lot of stock in Cobb. He was the No. 1 scorer in this league last year, but that's because he was returning kickoffs and getting an extra 7 to 10 points per game because of it.. He wasn't doing that at all this year in all the weeks before he got hurt and probably won't again. I think Le'Veon Bell is a better keeper than Cobb and you threw in Rivers, too.

It's an assessment of the trade. I don't have a problem with the trade going through. I'm just very surprised Irish was willing to take absolutely nothing he can use for this season, either as trade ammo or to help him win one game, in return while giving up Le'Veon and Rivers. It's true about Cobb. He's not a return man anymore and therefore not a Top 10 wideout.

Follow-up fun fact: that's more than any WR this year. This is without him being the KR, which he could very well become again next year.

I think I'll be just fine with Cobb.

As for this year, obviously my team is weaker. To upgrade from Bell to Cobb for next year (yes, it's an upgrade), I had to give up another piece. Rivers didn't figure into my plans next year, and Locker has been a solid starting QB when he's been healthy.

You think Irish cares about winning one game?

Not being a return man diminishes Cobb from being the top scoring fantasy player overall (and everyone knows that BTW - you're not educating anyone in case you think you are/were). However, his value is still strong being the #1 WR for Aaron Rodgers. 26 and 28.8 pts in the first 2 weeks of the season w/out returning kicks. 83.6 pts in 4 games before he got hurt in the beginning of the 5th game he played. He's still young and the injury is not expected to keep him out the entire season (in real life). I don't know what you're trying to preach? That he's not a good keeper??? Even your Top 10 WR quote is questionable. ESPN's preseason rankings disagree with you.

But of course there is only one opinion that is factual and that is your opinion. Thank you for your assessment and the patronizing manner in which you do it. My respect for you is legit, but you make it hard to like the things you say at times.

Patronizing? You mean to tell me you guys aren't secure enough to handle a little second-guessing? If you disagree with me, that's great. But why should I not express an opinion after it's a done deal?

Also, my team isn't irrelevant. I'm still projected to outscore 9 of the other 19 teams this week. I can't help the fact that I began the season 2-5 despite having the 5th most points-scored in the 20-team league? That sort of bad-luck anomaly happens to a team in this league every year.

Uhh... just because you tried to patronize doesn't mean we were. Pretty sure we both made our case with your end result being a jerkish comment like...
